Default MFSW codes

My 2001 A6 has the heated MFSW with the phone options. I want to recode it so that the phone buttons work on the redio/cd. I did not get the phone when I purchased the car, so the phone buttons do nothing and I would like to put them to use on the radio. Anyone know how to recode my wheel for this. It does not have TIP controls but is heated.

Default Don't the other buttons on the steering wheel already control volume, presets, CD tracks etc.?

what would you want those two phone buttons to do beyond that?

With the factory radio no, with an aftermarket, that could be done.

Default Yes the top 4 do, but

On a mfsw without phone they control the cd changer.

Default Re: MFSW codes

How does the car know if there is a phone or cd change option. I would think that there are different codes for with phone and without phone.

Default So changing the last digit to "2" should work, yes? I forgot about the CD-changer...

...have one, but I have not used it since converting to the MP3 player in the RNS-E, and my "CD" buttons on my steering wheel now operate my bluetooth phone ))

I am getting rusty, I should have remembered that! I am glad that 5speed6 has not yet left here, even though he now drives a "domestic"
